In addition to age and genetics, many factors contribute to high blood pressure, including high salt intake, high alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, inadequate sleep, stress or certain medications, chronic kidney disease, metabolic syndrome, being overweight, sleep apnea, and thyroid disease.
However, doctors warn that an unexpected cause of waking up in the morning can also cause blood pressure to spike.
Waking up to an alarm clock can increase blood pressure by 74%, compared to waking up without an alarm
Dr. Manjusha Agarwal, Gleneagles Hospital Parel Mumbai (India), said that the alarm clock can have a huge impact on both physical and mental health, according to the Indian Express.
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, a neurologist at Apollo Hospital, Hyderabad (India), also warned that waking up with an alarm clock can increase blood pressure by 74%, compared to waking up without an alarm, according to research from the University of Virginia (USA).
Dr Sudhir Kumar added that people who slept less than seven hours also had higher blood pressure before waking up. This spike in blood pressure can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Notably, this risk is higher in people with heart disease or high blood pressure. Dr. Kumar said: An alarm can wake you abruptly from deep sleep, which can leave you feeling groggy for up to two hours, and waking up to an alarm can also increase stress levels.
Maintain a consistent sleep schedule (go to bed at the same time every night) in sync with your circadian rhythm.
Safer solutions
- Avoid using the alarm clock frequently,
- Get enough sleep (7-8 hours), to wake up naturally
- Let natural light into the room to help you wake up.
- Maintain a consistent sleep schedule (go to bed at the same time every night)
Over time, waking up at the same time every day can help create a sleep-wake routine. This can help your body learn to wake up without an alarm, says Dr. Agarwal. Eventually, your body can adapt to this daily routine, leaving you feeling energized and refreshed to start your day.
If you must use an alarm, use a soothing or soothing sound that is easy to listen to. Choosing a loud or sharp sound can wake you up with a sudden jolt, leading to increased stress and heart rate, says Dr. Agarwal. Choose soothing sounds like nature sounds or instrumental music to create a peaceful environment, according to the Indian Express.
